A Deeper Blue: The Life and Music of Townes Van Zandt (North Texas Lives of Musician Series)

This is the first serious biography of a man widely considered one of Texasâ€™â€”and Americaâ€™sâ€”greatest songwriters. Like Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt was the embodiment of that mythic American figure, the troubled troubadour. A Deeper Blue traces Van Zandtâ€™s background as the scion of a prominent Texas family; his troubled early years and his transformation from promising pre-law student to wandering folk singer; his life on the road and the demons that pursued and were pursued by him; the women who loved and inspired him; and the brilliance and enduring beauty of his songs, which are explored in depth. The author draws on eight yearsâ€™ extensive research and interviews with Townesâ€™ family and closest friends and colleagues. He looks beyond the legend and paints a colorful portrait of a complex man who embraced the darkness of demons and myth as well as the light of deep compassion and humanity, all â€œfor the sake of the song.â€
